Using `Codex` `Goals` for Long-Running Tasks

Goals keeps multi-turn work moving toward a defined outcome. Useful for profiling, patches, benchmarks, flaky tests, and evidence-based audits.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Goals is a persistent objective for a Codex thread, so work can continue across multiple turns toward a defined result.
  2. Best fit is work that breaks a single prompt: profiling, patching, benchmarking, flaky test reproduction, and audits.
  3. The leverage comes from clear end conditions. Vague goals turn into extra turns without better output.
